An end to NFL at the home of English FootballHave we not been "Americanised" and forced into capitalist practises enough? In the modern age of sport, where everything is branded and turned into a franchise for profit, where at every point possible money is made from the games we love, and where tradition & passions are passed down for the pursuit of commercial profit: it's important to protect what we still have. And by allowing the NFL into our country, in what is purely a marketing campaign to see if there is the potential for an NFL franchise in London, I believe that is a step too far. Wembley is a purpose built English Football stadium, there to build it's own history in the one of, if not the most, loved sport in the country. Why should we allow NFL games to not only tarnish the tradition of sport in the UK but quite literally tarnish the pitches we play on? In England's last international at Wembley (at the time of writing) against Slovenia following an NFL game less than a week before, there were brand marks left on the pitch and little grass left to work with, as Roy Hodgson pointed out. Slovenian staff said the pitch was "ruined". This is not something that should be continued, and the FA should not allow itself to appear so weak to America's demands and the possibility of profits they offer. By pursuing a deal to create a London NFL franchise to fill their money pots, corruption is not something they should currently be accusing other footballing institutions of. Therefore, I ask you, support this campaign and end our support of the commercialisation of sport. Let the FA realise that this is not something we want, that OUR football should take priority and that if they have problems filling the stadium, we don't want the solution to be an alien sport taking its place: We don't want their money or their brands; we want our tradition and the practise of real, non-consumerised sports.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paddy Nolan

We say NO to TESCO Express at Prettygate, ColchesterThe planning officer originally made a mistake in allowing the amendment through without having the authority. He then over-turned it but was over-ruled by the Chief Executive. This has opened the door to TESCO to open a TESCO Express 100 yards from an existing local CO-OP without any public say on the matter. Over 500 people have signed a petition already and we want to recruit more supporters. Many have said they would like to sign a petition online, hence this campaign. If you have signed the paper copy you don't need to sign this one as both will be presented to the Council in due course. Please spread the word via social media.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steven Dale

Political Debates 2015 - All Parties Large and SmallIn a country that is supposed to be democratic with a media that is supposed to be unbiased it is yet again being wholly biased with its 2015 debates. Asking the usual suspects and then inviting Nigel Farage whilst leaving out other parties is undemocratic and unfair on the electorate who want to hear all parties views and policies so they can make a fair and informed decision on who they want to run their country! : SNP who are now the United Kingdoms third largest political party 80,000 + and rising : Greens who are a bigger party than UKIP : SSP To name just three who deserve the right to be heard equally in the media debates or are the media and the parties invited afraid of the impact that will have in the actual polling stations on the day? We as an electorate demand that all parties are heard equally in the debates in 201557 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tina McCaffery

Rescind England's membership of the UKThere have been a lot of complaints from England about subsidising the other nations of the United Kingdom. There is also resentment from the other nations that England dominates all aspects of UK life, from parliament to the BBC and most other aspects of UK culture , language and political direction. As England subsidises the rest of the UK and must therefore be the richest and most able part of the UK, it follows that it must be the most capable of 'going it alone'. Removing England from the UK would therefore allow it to become more successful whilst also allowing the periphery nations, principalities, etc to continue to grow and prosper within the centuries old framework of the current United Kingdom. It will also allow England to make its own decisions on EU membership, immigration control, etc without affecting the position of the rest of the UK.142 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jonny Calcutta
